<p>[QUOTE="Ciscokid, post: 40243, member: 1932"]Ok OldDan, looks like (I'm not 100% sure) but the wd40 (soaked for 48 hours) removed whatever was left but it was to late--(obviously)--I really can't tell if the damage was already done originally or not but when you look at that area now under "heavy" magnification (x16 or more) it looks like the silver itself has inherited the pattern (very spotty, has "melted" look and off colored). To me, with the naked eye, still looks like my picture above--</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if anything learned from this is--DO NOT SHIP RAW COINS SECURED WITH SCOTCH TAPE!!!!--</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, before I do anything else since it looks like all chemical remedies have been tried (including brasso). It's time to whiz this sucker <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> --(I don't think even NCS can save this puppy now). Since I have never done this (whizzing) before, I do have several types of "wire brushes" some stiff, 1 is very soft if you will. Question is should I hammer it with the hard wire brush and my big drill, or use my dremel and use the soft wire and "gently" wipe it once???? (logic dictates the soft wire)--What you'll think?? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
